This web site is not associated with California State Parks or the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Opinions expressed here belong to the individuals posting and not necessarily the site administrator. Interpretation of trail conditions is rather subjective. What might be considered "safe" to one person with a lot of experience might be dangerous for somebody else who does not have the same skills or equipment. Sometimes people accidentally get details mixed up, so it's nice to get a confirmation from another person. Most of the time, however, people in the hiking and climbing community post accurate information that is helpful to others.
